Caribbean Tourism Organisation signs Airbnb partnership

The Caribbean Tourism Organisation and Airbnb have signed a landmark agreement to develop a set of policy principles and recommendations on the sharing economy for Caribbean governments and other stakeholders.

Under the agreement both organisations will share data and studies with policymakers about the positive impact of the sharing economy in the region; identify ways to make it more inclusive; and broaden the benefits of tourism to non-traditional actors, attract new stakeholders and focus on providing amazing and unique travel and cultural experiences to visitors.

“This is an exciting partnership for Airbnb. We look forward to working with the CTO to develop policy recommendations for regional governments and other stakeholders on the sharing economy.

“The Caribbean is an important and growing market for Airbnb and we expect continued growth there,” Sullivan said.
